Dad’s Hat – Bristol, Pennsylvania The resurrectors of Pennsylvania Rye, a classic but forgotten style. Herman Mihalich worked with Michigan State University for 2 years perfecting the Dad’s Hat’s Rye recipe until they began filling barrels in 2011. They utilize rye grain that is grown in the same county as their distillery by the Mease family, whose lands have been bountifully providing rye grain to distilleries since 1716. Distilled twice through a custom pot still Dad’s Hat has a unique mashbill of 80% rye, 15% malted barley, and 5% malted rye. This rye rested exclusively in 53 gallon Char No. 3 barrels from McGinnis of Missouri which were laid down in 2018.

Manifest Distilling Co. Jacksonville, FL One of our favorite distilleries in our home state, Manifest has had a strong commitment to creating Florida Rye since its inception in 2016. The rye we used in this blend is one of the last barrel fills of their old recipe which has the same formula as Journeyman’s: 60% organic rye, 40% organic wheat aged in a No. 3 char, 53 gallon barrel from Barrel Mill of Minnesota. This barrel was laid down in early 2018 and brings a ton of baking spice and structure to balance out the other soft and floral ryes we utilized.
